Not illustrated. 1896 Excerpt: ...filled with mortar, and must be raked out and pointed after the centre is removed Many pressed brick and some handmade bricks have one or more depressions in the larger surfaces of the brick to give a better key to the mortar. When the depressions are only on one side of the brick that side should be uppermost. When building of face brick a piece of brickwork at least 2 feet high and 2 feet 6 inches long should be built up in an out-of-the-way place as soon as the first lot of brick is delivered, as a sample piece, and all stone or terra cotta work should be made to conform absolutely to the brickwork.
